Key
technology showcase at Ericsson Studio India include :-

5G
Connected Drones: Drones are increasingly being used for city
surveillance, emergency response, patrol and inspections to improve operational
efficiency & increase safety. Existing drone solutions connect using local
radio links with a limited range of operation. There is a huge potential in
connecting drones using 5G cellular networks.

Connected
Urban Transport: Cities represent an ecosystem of
residents, traffic, road infrastructure, vehicles, bikes, fleet owners, public
transport, logistics providers, neighbouring municipalities, just to name a
few. This ecosystem is complex, in the sense that there is a lot of
fragmentation. The Connected Urban Transport solution is designed to overcome
this fragmentation, by monitoring and optimizing the available assets in
cities. With a central dashboard overview of all connected assets that unites
insights with actions, cities can solve their biggest traffic issues.

Internet
of Skills: Internet of Skills refers to the ability of using
communication networks that convey not only images and sound, but the sense of
touch, combined with virtual reality technologies. Ericsson Research’s live
demonstration is the next level of remote communication in healthcare sector.
It showcases the ability to examine remote patients and to transfer these
skills through virtual environment and haptic feedback over the network.

Mixed
Reality Mining: Mixed Reality Mining demo displays the
possibilities and future concepts on the AR and VR which can be adapted for a
mining use case. It offers users a chance to experience what could be done with
great connectivity, i.e. 5G, precise positioning, and augmented, mixed and
virtual reality (AR/MR/VR) in a mining context, with the primary aim to support
the interplay between human mine workers and automated systems.
